FYI, Stacy's mom does, in fact, have it going on.

This one might've been posted in a prior year(?) but it popped in my head this evening and is just too much fun to not share.

Anytime I hear that song, I immediately think of Peter Griffin from Family Guy.

This morning I got a really cool recommend on YT for an 80s song. But it was weird because the movie was The Last American Virgin, but the song wasn't one I'd heard before. Then I realized why, the song is a retro-80s release. These guys in Madrid, Spain have a band called At 1980. They love the 80s and write original music that has 80s feel and sound, this was their latest release. The song is an original called Back to Me, but damn if it doesn't sound like it came straight from that decade.
Back to Me Lyrics
It feels like yesterday
When you and I were in LA
Walking down the beach
Listening to Tears for Fears
God you look so good in that blue denim dress that I got for you
Then you broke up with me
Guess I should have guessed
When I hear your name
is when it starts coming back to me
I still feel the same
I close my eyes and you’re all I see
I still remember you dancing in the kitchen with nothing but my t-shirt on
When I hear that song
Driving with the radio on
That’s when it starts coming back to me
I won’t forget those nights
They feel like a long lost dream
Your green eyes in the lights
God you used to make me scream
I don’t know how but there’s millions of things still left to say
It’s crazy but I just wanna know you’re OK
When I hear your name
It’s when it starts coming back to me
I still feel the same
I close my eyes and you’re all I seem
I still remember you dancing in the kitchen with nothing but my t-shirt on
When I hear that song
Driving with the radio on
That’s when it starts coming back to me

Complete accident that I stumbled upon this song from a duo called First Aid Kit and so happy I did.
Just beautiful... even more so when understanding the connections between Emmylou / Gram and June / Johnny.
Don't watch the video the first time. Close your eyes and listen to Emmylou then check out the video later.
Oh the bitter winds are coming in
And I'm already missing the summer
Stockholm's cold but I've been told
I was born to endure this kind of weather
When it's you I find like a ghost in my mind
I am defeated and I gladly wear the crown
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
Now so much I know that things just don't grow
If you don't blessed them with your patience
And I've been there before I held up the door
For every stranger with a promise
But I'm holding back, that's the strength that I lack
Every morning keeps returning at my window
And it brings me to you and I won't just pass through
But I'm not asking for a storm
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
And yes I might have lied to you
You wouldn't benefit from knowing of the truth
I was frightened but I held fast
I need you now at long last
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
I'll be your Emmylou and I'll be your June
If you'll be my Gram and my Johnny too
No, I'm not asking much of you
Just sing little darling, sing with me
Just sing little darling, sing with me

Lol. Somehow, I think you managed to cover all the bases there.

Continuing my recent Alice Cooper kick with a cut from 1994's The Last Temptation, Nothing's Free
You, me
Understand
Shake my hand
Last chance, little man
Ain't it grand
It's a bargain, it's a steal
30 pieces of silver
And a deal's a deal
Sign upon the dotted line
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Nothing's free
Eventually
Nothing's free
From the rules and laws of morality
Free to take your fill
Free from your own free will
Nothing's free
My boy, it's getting late
I'll raise the stakes
So close
Control your fate, why hesitate?
Seal the deal, close the sale
Take my hammer, drive the nail
Sign upon the bloody line
A drop of yours, a drop of mine
Nothing's free
Eternally
Nothing's free
From your conscience or
Free from the consequence
Free to sin and death
Free till your final breath
Nothing's free
Free from the claws and flaws of your family
Free from obedient life
You're cut like a double-edged knife
Nothing's free, nothing's free
Oh, you pay me
Free to ignore the bore of authority
Free to spit in the face
Be the winningest rat in the race till Judgement Day
Then nothing's free
Bow to me if you want to be free
Free from life, come die with me
And when we're dead it's for eternity
Come on, little one, and dance in the fire
The heat's getting close
and the flame's getting higher
When the music's over there's a hush in the choir
Nothing's free
When the trumpets sound
and his light is all around
And the saints all raise from the graves
in the ground
We'll be going way downtown
Way downtown
We're free, so free
trust me
and its dark
and its cold
and you're alone
but you're free
isn't that what you wanted?
You, me
Understand
Shake my hand
Last chance, little man
Ain't it grand
It's a bargain, it's a steal
30 pieces of silver
And a deal's a deal
Sign upon the dotted line
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Nothing's free
Eventually
Nothing's free
From the rules and laws of morality
Free to take your fill
Free from your own free will
Nothing's free
My boy, it's getting late
I'll raise the stakes
So close
Control your fate, why hesitate?
Seal the deal, close the sale
Take my hammer, drive the nail
Sign upon the bloody line
A drop of yours, a drop of mine
Nothing's free

Free from the consequence
Free to sin and death
Free till your final breath
Nothing's free
Free from the claws and flaws of your family
Free from obedient life

Nothing's free, nothing's free
Oh, you pay me
Free to ignore the bore of authority
